Podcast Clipper / Short-Form Video Editor (Performance Contract) - Remote

About the job Podcast Clipper / Short-Form Video Editor (Performance Contract) - Remote Engagement: 1099 contractor. Performance-based. Location: Remote. A note from the founder Long-form content is dead until somebody clips it. The Wilkinson Firm produces real founder content, real client conversations, real industry commentary. None of it travels without short-form. Most podcast and YouTube channels in our space are wasting 90% of the asset because they never clip it.
